Ubuntu accuses Microsoft of Linux netbook FUD
,----[ Quote ]
| LaBlanc opened by claiming that almost all netbooks sold today are sold with
| Windows. Well, no, not really. The numbers LaBlanc cites are from NPD's sales
| survey. NPD focuses on brick-and-mortar U.S. sales, not overall sales. Notice
| how many Linux systems you see at Best Buy? NPD numbers say a lot more about
| retail channel sales than it does over-all sales. Besides, as Canonical's
| director of business development Kenyon wrote, "However here is an
| interesting fact--when customers are offered choice on equally
| well-engineered computers around a third will select Ubuntu over XP."

| file sharing with, "highly questionable statistics blatantly
| slanted towards the entertainment cartels?"

Early Vista Sales Don't Tell the Whole Story
,----[ Quote ]
| To be clear: The missing information is to be expected, and I don't
| mean to reflect poorly on Swenson or NPD. Research firms aren't in
| the business of giving away information to the news media, but
| selling it to clients. The information provided to the press
| should be incomplete.
